According to the Kubuntu developers, version 18.10 includes "…some exciting improvements, with newer versions of Qt, updates to major packages like Krita, KDEConnect, KStars, Peruse, Latte Dock, Firefox, and LibreOffice, and stability improvements to KDE Plasma. In addition, Snap integration in Plasma Discover software center is now enabled by default, and Flatpak integration is also available."
